  • Thanks for the great tips. I agree that a diet needs to have carbohydrates, protein, and good fats. I wasn't surprised that I wasn't getting enough protein but I was shocked to find out I wasn't getting enough fats. Although my diet leaves a LOT to be desired. If I look at overall diet and go look beyond the macronutrients…

  • I have the same problem: I go over on carbs, meet the protein, but don't come anywhere near the fat quota. Today I had a portion of pork fried rice (2 cups) and I'm still nowhere near what MFP recommends for my fat intake. Apparently eating a very low fat diet isn't part of my weight problem :wink: Maybe instead of my…

  • Thanks, BrendaLee. I have a terrible sugar addiction but I do find I eat less if I eat the real stuff. For some reason, artificial sweeteners make me crave more sweets and they make me feel kind of wonky in a bad way. Update: I checked it out and it was a great source of info. I get so frustrated when trying to find simple…

  • I was diagnosed in 2009 with fibro by a rheumatologist but I have had it since 1992/1993. My family doctor suggested fibro back in 2005 but I got a second opinion last year. I have found it very difficult trying to work out when I am so exhausted I barely get out of bed and then not pushing myself so hard I can't move for…

  • I have wanted this game since I first heard of its release. I love the Wii and using it for physical activity. Who knew hula hooping on a balance board could be so tough? I would be very interested in a review of Just Dance as well.

  • Things for the tips! Drinking enough water has always been an issue of mine even though I know it is the best thing I could give myself. Thanks everyone for all your support and motivation. I have used other sites before but I have never had this much help and encouragement before. I knew this was the right place when 1) I…
    in Started my journey to lose over 100 pounds Comment by tanyashealth January 2010
  • I suppose I've tried at least 20 different times. I'm taking a more balanced look at weight loss this time instead of the "all or nothing" approach. I'm still working on what to do regarding my poor eating habits but I figured that I could still start tracking my food and adding exercise. I suppose the difference this time…
    in How many times have you started trying to lose but then gave Comment by tanyashealth January 2010
  • For me it was chronic, debilitating fatigue and pain. My activity dropped as I would become exhausted just shopping for groceries. Years went and I turned to food to self-medicate since the doctors had no idea what was going on. Eventually I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and hypothyroidism. I…
